Bates Wins the 5,000 at the NCAA Western Regional

Note:  This story is brought to you first in Idaho by Blue Through and Through.  None of Boise's television stations have let the Treasure Valley know the news, but we care about all Broncos, not just football and basketball players.  We are Blue Through and Through!

An amazing race for Emma Bates!

She was in the top four for the duration of the 5,000 tonight at the NCAA Western Regional Track & Field Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  In the last few laps, the pace picked up, led by Aisling Cuffe of Stanford, the #1-ranked runner in the nation.

Heading into the backstretch, Bates kicked it into another gear just as Cuffe was struggling, and Emma won it at the wire.  She qualified for the NCAA National Championships in Eugene, Oregon, just as she did Thursday in the 5,000.

Way to Emma--extremely proud of you.  I think you showed something today to your competitors.
